an update on the 2007 Hardly, Strictly bluegrass Festival in GG park. the place was packed guys, there must be 100,000 folks out here. on the jr. star stage in front of about 15,000 people, john prine, in about an hour, spit out these gems amoung others:speed of the sound of lonelinessyour flag won't get you into heavensouviners( for late steve goodman)grandpa was a carpenterfish and whistleangel from montgomery( for bonnie raitt)and lake marieif someone can convince me that prine is not the finest folk singer there is behind bob dylan, i will allow our beloved dog muttley to be gang banged by a pack of rabid pitbulls. the man has almost no equal. his humor, his word play, his poinency.............he has championed the everyday man with his lyrical brilliance. i love him
next up was the always superb Keller Williams. starting with a jam>freaker by the speaker>jam with bela fleck, the man( with sweet lou suporting from the sound board) is always a marvel. he did people watching, celebrate your youth, novelty song, sheba sheba and the closing doobie in my pocket amoung other treats. 
on my way home to spell my muttley( who came with me yesterday but was benched today for too big a crowd and his leftover beer and popcorn consuming debacle of yesterday), i stopped at the massive main stage where at least 25,000 were in front of ricky skaggs and bruce hornsby( plus in true bluegrass fashion, about 8 other people on stage). it was a packed but beautiful sight, and these boys sounded good and pretty spirited. as i left, they just launched into an inappropriate cover of "super freak" which came right after a mainstage announcment about a lost girl in the crowe with down's syndrome..............strange but true. more to come hopefully
